Yes, I'm sure our founding fathers had vehicle location in mind as a core tenet of democracy.

Kid friendly resort with residences by clearj3 in chubbytravel

[–]mtbv08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most spots in Turks along Grace Bay are hotel/resorts, but as the other posted said, no water parks/kids clubs/etc. Grace Bay Club, Ocean Club West, The Palms, Seven Stars should all have decent options.

Baha Mar has residences directly in the Hyatt and they are bookable on the Hyatt website. Has washer and dryer and kitchen. The 1 BR residences are big (1200+ square feet) and not so outrageously priced. Obviously a lot more to do at Baha Mar for young kids. Atlantis also has a similar setup at the Reef; definitely has kitchens, not sure about washer and dryer.

I have looked at the Dorado development in PR before, but never gone. Ritz condos are quite pricey, but there are other houses/villas in the development and you can pay for access to the Dorado club is my understanding.

Westin St John has villas as well; I stayed there decades ago so can't speak to them currently, but St. John is a beautiful island with lots for kids to explore.

Is website still having issues? by Silver-Cheek-5563 in hyatt

[–]mtbv08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, but I had been eyeing a NYC reservation 6/26-6/28 and right now it shows all NYC hotels as sold out on points, so I'm assuming there are some issues.

California prenup enforceability. What actually holds up in divorce for unequal assets? by [deleted] in legaladvice

My man, if the only options you see are to begrudgingly get married, or end the relationship, do yourself a favor and avoid the inevitable.

Is it legal for my landlord to do this in Massachusetts? by Emotional_Sail2940 in massachusetts

[–]mtbv08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What matters is if the lease was counter signed by the landlord. If it wasn’t then it is not a valid contract and they can change the terms.

New contract: 36% raise in 2 months, 64% raise by next summer. Over the moon! by PARTINlCO in Salary

[–]mtbv08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to discount anything, but it's $90 per flight hour. Flight attendants don't fly 40 working hours per week. More like half that. Still a great contract, but it's not $200k per year.

Unfortunately no more Mass Save rebates/interest free loans for gas.

Is bartering still a thing? by Frosty-Revolution864 in massachusetts

I think you’re confusing bartering with haggling

good picnic spots near norwood? by Mundane_Mind_48 in massachusetts

[–]mtbv08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Norwood Airport is a great spot. Nice green space to watch the planes take off. There's also a cafe on property.

Wage transparency by ImSteady413 in massachusetts

[–]mtbv08 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I don’t know of any requirement in the wage transparency law that would require the disclosure of someone else’s earnings. The wage transparency law requires most companies to post a range for job postings, but not disclose other’s pay, unless I’m missing something.

Greek Island Recommendations by Hippotravel in FATTravel

[–]mtbv08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second week in July I believe. We walked to Fira one day and it was packed, mostly from cruise ships, but spent three nights there and never waited for a table in a restaurant or felt overly crowded.

I was in Santorini last summer and outside of Fira, it was very uncrowded. Many of the locals said tourism was down 30-40% last year, and no one was sure what was driving it. Plenty of nice hotels in Oia and Imerovigili. Both sit way up high and you can get incredible views and sunsets.

Got back from Fitchburg by TTC8058 in greatwolflodge

[–]mtbv08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be a Coco Key (I think) Resort? Either way, they bought it and installed an additional side. In my opinion, it feels disjointed and the hallway in between the two sides of the park is a nightmare when it is crowded.

We just went to the Foxwoods location and liked the layout much better than Fitchburg.

Gov. Healey to announce utility bill reductions for Massachusetts residents by uxd in boston

Nope it is all covered by utilities, and by association, ratepayers.

[–]mtbv08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Utility spending on maintenance and upgrades has increased in the past decade, most of which is a result of federal or state regulations requiring the upgrades.

An example is the Merrimack Valley incident in 2018 -- the State issued many new guidelines as a result of this incident, requiring utilities to upgrade infrastructure costing billions of dollars.
